One day we stumbled upon Central Indian while walking around Sheung Wan, and from then on we go there about once a month! We always leave feeling very satisfied--sometimes too satisfied, because the food is so good that we want to keep eating even if we are full...I almost always get the set dinner, which for me includes a mango lassi, a peppery soup with peas to whet your appetite, a hot samosa with tamarind sauce, fresh steaming naan, and rich "Butter Paneer" stew as the main dish, all for $99
I almost always get the set dinner, which for me includes a mango lassi, a peppery soup with peas to whet your appetite, a hot samosa with tamarind sauce, fresh steaming naan, and rich "Butter Paneer" stew as the main dish, all for $99. The Butter Paneer is creamy and smooth, with just a hint of spiciness. My boyfriend gets the set dinner too but with their fragrant long-grain rice instead of naan, and a sizzling BBQ Chicken Tikka for the main. All the set dinner options are around $80-130, depending on the main dish.
We also get an order of two big crispy, spicy papadum crackers with mint and tamarind sauces. Overall, the menu has a huge variety of options.
Beyond the food:
The restaurant is fairly small, but clean and decorated tastefully. It's not fancy, but it's also a step above a deli or typical cha can ting or whatever.
We usually end up with the same waitress and she is always smiling and polite. I can't stand chatty waiters, so I like her quiet demeanor.
The food is served in a timely manner, and while we are waiting we find the Bollywood music videos that they play quite amusing. The last reviewer said the music was loud, but we don't find it loud at all. Perhaps it used to be loud and they have lowered the volume since then.
Anyway, check it out!
